Maas advocated the return of Russia to dialogue with the EU

Maas made this statement before the start of the meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels.

“We are ready for dialogue and the time has come for Moscow to return to dialogue,” said the head of German diplomacy.

At the same time, according to Maas, the European Union should not deviate from its path of protecting human rights, including in Russia. “

As an example of further confrontation from Moscow, the minister pointed to the entry ban imposed by Russia for eight EU citizens, including European Parliament President David Sassoli and European Commission Vice President Vera Yurova.
